The apartment was extremely clean, cozy and well-uquipped, we were amazed by the amount of details - how perfectly organised all cupboards were, the amount of utensils available and how spotless it was. Unit we chose had 2 bedrooms - king size bed in one, two queen in second, and additonal sleeping space for 2 in the living room. Hot tub was divine and location very convenient - 10 minute walk to the lake, and approx 1hr scenic drive to Yosemite Valley. Staff was wonderful and helpful! They even gave us a complimentary bottle of wine for taking longer to check-in, which was completely unexpected but very kind of them. We felt like at home, thank you and I hope we'll get a chance to visit you again :)

Calamigos Guest Ranch and Beach Club 5 stars

Malibu

Each air-conditioned room at this resort offers free WiFi and a flat-screen TV. Certain units include a seating area for your convenience. A balcony or patio are featured in certain rooms. Rooms are equipped with a private bathroom. For your comfort, you will find bathrobes, slippers and toiletries. Exceptional service with every detail considered. The cashless and tip less approach is terrific, and somehow results in even friendlier and more attentive service. The details in the room from the wine, to the spa product samples, and the personalised candle elevate the experience. The rooms are stunning and luxurious. The property is beautiful, well maintained and has no shortage of activities and areas to explore. All good from the breakfast to poolside to dinner is fresh, hearty, and delicious. This is one of my favourite hotels and I’m already planning my next visit. A new go-to for a wholesome escape.

Carmel Valley

This Carmel Valley resort boasts star-rated dining, a wellness spa and outdoor heated pool. A limestone fireplace, 2-person soaking tub and down feather bedding are featured in each guest room. Monterey Bay Aquarium is 19 km away. We were overwhelmed with the staff, the quick service, the facilities, the food, and the wonderful positive vibe everywhere. It's very rare to get this quality of service, smiling faces and high standards, and it's obvious your staff is treated well, which makes all the difference! Loved the plastic slippers and bathrobe! And the hot cider...Liscia's massage was the best I've ever had!
